Lenovo 5400 PRO 480GB SATA SSD

The Lenovo 5400 PRO is a 480GB 3.5-inch internal solid-state drive built on the Micron 5400 PRO platform. It connects through a SATA 6Gb/s interface and is rated for read-intensive workloads with 1.5 drive writes per day. The drive includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption and delivers up to 540 MB/s sequential read and 520 MB/s sequential write speeds.

Read-intensive servers and arrays

This SSD suits administrators deploying storage for boot, logging, web serving or other read-heavy applications in supported Lenovo ThinkSystem servers. The 1325 TBW endurance rating and 1.5 DWPD specification match workloads where reads far outnumber writes. Buyers who need higher write endurance for mixed-use or write-intensive profiles should evaluate drives designed for those workloads.

1.5 DWPD endurance rating

The 1.5 drive writes per day figure is the single specification that determines whether this drive matches the target workload. At 480GB capacity, this translates to the published 1325 TBW total endurance. If the planned application exceeds this write budget, a drive with a higher DWPD rating is required.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 5400 PRO is performing at its rated 540 MB/s read speed after installation?

Run a sequential-read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or fio against the SATA 6 Gb/s port; sustained reads should approach 540 MBps and 95000 IOPS for 4 KB random reads if the drive is healthy.

Does the 3.5-inch 480 GB unit ship with a mounting bracket or cables, or must I source them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5-inch SATA SSD; any 3.5-inch bay adapter, SATA data cable or power cable required by your server or chassis must be purchased separately.

When should I choose this 480 GB model instead of the larger capacities in the 5400 PRO range?

Select the 480 GB version when your read-intensive workload fits within that capacity and you want the 1.5 DWPD endurance rating and 1325 TB total bytes written at the lowest acquisition cost in the series.
